This Tip Top location has been a staple in this mall since I was a kid. They have a wide selections of suite, shirts and all the accessories.

I must say, this store has saved me on a number of occasions when I've been absolutely stumped on what to buy for the men in my life.

In a more practical sense I could see someone that normally shops at Banana Republic shopping here and the price range is similar. On today's visit we were told that the sale items they had in the back were rotating out the next day so the clearance prices had been further reduced to 70% off their original ticketed price. For some context, a sweater with delicate sparkle threading woven throughout was originally $89 and reduced to $26. I wasn't able to find anything on this occasion but my friend managed to find two dress shirts for work.

We were here on Hallowe'en of all nights and as to be expected, on such a hallowed eve, the store…read morewas a ghost town. My husband went straight to the jean section as I wandered amongst the shirts. I had just started to poke around when a young lad approached me and asked if he could help. Before I could say anything, he informed me that he was technically on break but could try and help me since they were COMPLETELY understaffed even though the management had said it would be totally dead in there because it was Hallowe'en but it didn't even look like he was going to be able to take his full break because it's been like, non-stop... *gasp for air*. Wait, what? Now I don't know much about working in retail but I'm pretty sure I could have tossed a bowling ball down any section and not hit a customer. I thought I saw one but then I noticed he was folding items and straighten shelves... nope, not a customer. Once this lad came back from his 'shortened' break we asked him a few more questions and had him pull some items from the back room. Oh the hardship! This lazy git needs to be exposed to the real world... and a lesson in customer service wouldn't hurt either. But it was Hallowe'en, after all. Perhaps he was only disguised as a lazy ass teenager. If so... he NAILED it!

If you are looking for Christmas gifts then you might want to check this place out. There are tables setup around the whole store with excellent gift boxes for all types of people. There's also an extensive selection of toys for the young ones. I was just browsing around and came across these Dr Marten combat boots in the shoe section. Normally these boots retail for $260. They were selling them for $119.99. What a deal! I used my gift card from work and treated myself to my first pair Dr Martens since high school. Winners is always my go to spot for brand name merchandise at a discounted price. There's also pet section for all you fur parents.

The "collection" is different than in the regular stores and a few differences includes the fabric types, fewer styles and less attention to detail. You do not see the styles or end of season clothes from the regual stores at the outlets any longer. The prices are simular to the regular stores when they have a sales on and that is frequently. You can find some deals here and try everything on as the fit is different with the outlet collection.

This outlet is the closest one to me. It happens to be in Ajax. I don't mind the drive. It's…read morelocated in a plaza that has many box stores and a decent Costco. I shop at the Gap often. It's one of my favourite stores, but I tend to hit the outlets more than regular mall retail stores. I like the deals and still think that it's ridiculous to pay over $70 for a pair of jeans! Today, I got a pair of blue flare jeans and a magenta hoodie. I had to try them on in the fitting room. The wait to get a free room was about seven minutes today, but the fitting rooms are clean and bright. The lineup to pay was equally as long. I figured out why it was so busy on Saturday when the cashier asked whether I had an e-mail coupon. I subscribe to Gap e-mails and had to look for it on my phone. I found it. I got 50% off my entire purchase, so I only paid $17 with tax. Wow! Needless to say, I was a happy camper. It's not every day that you can get a hoodie for $6 before taxes. (183)

We had a scheduled appointment at the Pickering Moores to look at suits for our upcoming wedding…read morebut we did not receive the level of assistance we had expected. The sales associates did not take any time to understand our needs. They did not ask even the most basic questions like when the wedding is, what style or colour suits we might be interested in or what we were hoping to accomplish during the appointment. They jumped right into spieling us on the cost of renting before even asking if we wanted to rent or buy. They continued rambling on and jumping from product to product which was very confusing. They also suggested if we wanted to 'own' a suit that we should just rent and 'lose' the rental but proceeded to tell us the suit people would come after us. It was just a very frustrating and uncomfortable experience. We left and immediately went to the Ajax location, received excellent assistance and ended up purchasing 6 suits. I would strongly suggest going to the Ajax store over Pickering.

I really want to like this store... but when you've been to the Eaton Centre location, it just seems worse and worse. I don't mind H&M and the store downtown is well laid out, well organized and you can generally find what you're looking for without TOO much searching. This particular location is kind of awful... they've tried to pack so much stuff into the women's area that its difficult to get around, difficult to actually SEE the product and its not a pleasant shopping experience. Tack on that it always looks like a bomb has gone off in the store, with clothes everywhere, and that the staff are at best detached, I generally avoid this store unless I can't get downtown to shop. I was here last night poking around, looking for some new work shirts and (as always with H&M) accessories. I basically floated through the women's section right to the back because I couldn't be bothered to dig in a store that's not Winners-esque. And I was SUPER disappointed with the lack of accessories at this location. They used to have better wider selection and now they basically have a ton of handbags, shoes and not a lot of jewelery. The staff that helped me wasn't very friendly either and a note to the staff here - the entire country is NOT doing pennies anymore. Everywhere else is following that policy so no need to be rude when I inquire about the round up/down. I'll keep shopping at the Eaton Centre location instead of coming back here again.
